This is the website of graphic designer and documentary filmmaker Stuart Fletcher. It contains additional footage and information acquired during film production, some of which was omitted or shortened due to the limitation of space or to avoid disrupting the natural flow of the story. This site also includes a bibliography of the papers, books and other material used during research acknowledging their authors. To all who have contributed to the making of these films, I thank you.
